Whats this about Eno and Smells, Essences and Perfumes?
“I wondered where the name “Neroli” came from. Then a few days later I was shopping in Covent Garden and went into this Aromatherapy shop. They sell this oil (£85 per bottle!) called “Neroli”. It supposed to be an anti-depressant and has a calming effect on people.” (Aj.) A number of the All Saints’ Promo copies of Neroli which were originally sent out actually had a small vial of Neroli attached to them. Eno used to (or still does) dabble with mixing fragrances, presumably in much the same way he describes making music as a metaphor for painting – mixing colors and layers of colors… For further information on Eno’s perfumes, look here and here.
